TLDR: On the first test my 970 EVO 1TB dropped from 86°C max to 66°C and from 65°C to 55 on average °C (78F Ambient) 5 stars for performance, worth the money if you have a hot SSD. I was hesitant to put this steampunk device on my minimalist car, but I'm glad I read the reviews and bought it. During installation I noticed that the copper tubing and aluminum block doesn't fully cover the 970 EVO's controller (see image), but it seems to work well enough for a 20 degree difference. I set the fan controller to PWM - yes, it has 4 wires; maybe others have an older model - HWinfo reports max 8437 rpm, min 6459 rpm, so it works (it seems fast compared to my 120mm fans: 900-2700 rpm). I want my motherboard to be able to read the temperature of the SSD. to control this fan but I'm getting away from the "System" temp so I set it a bit higher, I think the "System" temp was between 42 and 53C during the last log ; Good enough to vary the speed of this fan based on general usage. Anyway, when the speed is under control I can't hear this fan compared to others in the case. This is a replacement for the standard black passive aluminum heatsink that costs $10-15. on amazon. It made a difference as far as I can remember, max 8-10°C. Yes, the 970 EVO "temp 2” heated up to 95°C. So this heatsink is way better than the old passive aluminum logs. warm from the fact that he only had time to cool down when he installed the radiator.
